History OffscreenMomentOfAwesome / Fanfiction

* The season 3 finale for Fanfic/JakeEnglishsMysteriousTheaterOfScientificRomanceFromTheYear3000 says that the most awesome battle in the history of paradox space occurred. [[DoubleSubverted And then goes on to list all of the cool stuff we missed]], such as everyone turning into Power Rangers, Phelous jumping into a black hole, Equius punching the universe in half, the Suicide Squad fighting the Secret Six, and a cheesy montage.

* In ''Fanfic/TheLastSpartan'', when [[Franchise/MassEffect Tali]] is explaining the quarian Pilgrimage to [[{{Halo}} Master Chief]], she mentions a time when Kal'Reegar, himself on a pilgrimage at the time, returned to the fleet to give the ''Rayya's'' Captain a Brute [[DropTheHammer Gravity Hammer]] as a return gift. Tali described Reegar as being victim of multiple suit breaches and other injuries, but when Chief asks her exactly ''how'' he got it, Tali only says "[[BadassNormal It wasn't easy.]]"

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5433094/1/The_Doorstop The Doorstop]]'', a HateFic[=/=]{{Deconstruction}} of ''FanFic/TheOpenDoor'' has an especially notable one shortly after a major WhamEpisode when New!Chaos launches simultaneous commando raids against [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha the TSAB]], [[StarWars the New Republic]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann the Spiral Nation]] that nearly beheads all three nations in one fell swoop. Five chapters of brutal fighting, multiple [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments Of Awesome]], and several character deaths later, Nanoha learns that an attack force similar in size to the one that ''her entire team'' barely managed to fight off [[ItMakesSenseInContext accidentally]] attacked St. Hilda Elementary School... and was single-handedly curbstomped by ''[[BadassAdorable Vivio]]'' in full Saint King mode. Naturally, this all happens completely off-screen.

* Fight scenes ''Re-Take'' mostly occur off-screen. This includes Shinji, having knowledge of the future, disables Unit-03 without killing the pilot, and is stated to have broken all of its limbs. In the story's climax, Shinji's fight with the Mass Production Evas, most notably after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ghost Asuka finally decides to help him and they take the Lance of Longious]]. We get an OhCrap reaction from SELEE saying they're finished and the Unit-01 is going to kill their Evas and we get seen afterwards indicating that Shinji and Asuka took them down easily, but we don't get to see the fight.

* The first story in ''Peter Chimaera book of historical faFfiction'' is entitled ''Hitler: Extreme Nazi''. Too bad the only thing extreme about it is its short length; it barely takes up one page, which is short even for Chimaera.
** Also comes in ''Digimon 2:Return of Digimon'', where Digimon fights Evil Digimon. The first time Digimon one shoot kills him with his robot suit, only for it be reveal that "In Chapter 2, the evil Digimon is not really dead -- IT WAS A TRICK!" Then, the second time, after "punching through the ceiling and fighting IN SPACE," the story in its entirety goes, "They fought for a long time until they were tired from the fight, and Digimon killed him with a lethal blow. "Impossible … I can not be stopped!" Then an explosion."

* An FanFic/EyeOfTheFox scene which depicts Kira calmly walking out of the Autobot's cave and proceeded to ''[[spoiler:take out an entire forest]]'' it is still cool to imagine.

* Many of the fights in Fanfic/ChristianHumberReloaded are only described as far as Vash performing the killing move on the enemies, notably when Vash fight his corrupted self again in "Darkness Never Dies No Matter How Many Times You Kill It."
* The [[http://www.geocities.ws/charlesrocketboy/PokeRev.htm original]] version of Pokémon Revolution had been building up to a high-octane final battle in Kanto. The story ends at Chapter 38, just when the Johto forces start heading to Kanto.
* The final (extremely short) battle in the warehouse at the end of ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'' is all sound effects and aftermath. That's partially because of how one-sided the fight was—the real battle was John and Ringo's attempt to get into the warehouse—and partially because the author hates writing fight scenes.
** A written-out version of this fight, about a page long, does exist.

* From ''FanFic/GodsOfThisNewWorld'' when [[Manga/DeathNote Mello]] goes to [[spoiler: kidnap Sayu]] he fails miserably because she was waiting for him [[ClickHello with a gun]] and she had [[BashBrothers L at her back]].
* ''FanFic/InnerDemons'' has Rarity's fight with [[TheDragon Trixie]]. The narration cuts away just before they go at each other; later scenes imply that Trixie needed [[BigBad Queen!Twilight's]] help to win. This is impressive given that Rarity is just a fashionista, compared to Trixie, who's trained in combat magic. [[spoiler: The Element of Generosity changing into a suit of mystic armor probably helped.]]
* ''FanFic/ChroniclesOfHarmonysEnd'' features Discord and his lawful counterpart Array teaming up to destroy [[TopGod Harmony]], and of course it happens off page.
* We never get to see Rainbow Dash's escape from Ponyland Castle in Fanfic/TwilightSparklesAwesomeAdventure, although we know that it involved a dragon somehow.
* Much of the fighting in the Evangelion fanfic ''Re-Take'' occurs off-pannel [[spoiler: the biggest case being Shinji and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ghost Asuka prepared to fight the Mass Production Eva Units.]] The whole scene of Ghost-Asuka forgiving Shinji is a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, and we also see an OhCrap reaction from SELEE saying they've lost, but despite all the build up to MP Evas defeat that occurs, it's still disappointing that we don't get to see it.]]

* ''FanFic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind'': Dawn Sparkle duels [[MadGod Nightmare Moon]] in single combat. The scene cuts to the next morning, where we learn [[spoiler: she lost]].

* In Fanfic/TheLastSpartan, when [[MassEffect Tali]] is explaining the quarian Pilgrimage to [[{{Halo}} Master Chief]], she mentions a time when Kal'Reegar, himself on a pilgrmage at the time, returned to the fleet to give the ''Rayya's'' Captain a Brute [[DropTheHammer Gravity Hammer]] as a return gift. Tali described Reegar as being victim of multiple suit breaches and other injuries, but when Chief asks her exactly ''how'' he got it, Tali only says "[[BadassNormal It wasn't easy.]]"

* In the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'', [[BadFuture Dark World]] has Minty Pie running after the heroes to help fight Discord, only to fall down into a series of caverns inhabited by some winter spirits that say she's their [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]] in their battle against sun spirits. When we come back to this later, she's had a series of adventures and is facing down the evil Queen who was controlling both sides and manipulating her. Whether or not this works is up to personal taste

When we come back to this later, she's had a series of adventures and is facing down the evil Queen who was controlling both sides and manipulating her. In a case of TropesAreBad, this is very disconcerting for the readers, many of whom were confused by what was going on.

** The duel between Tarakudo and Hiruzen. One flashback ends with them about to fight, and another opens with Tarakudo just having killed him. And it seems he only won because Ikazuki defied his orders and helped him.
